Your details, kept simply

What I collect

Only what you choose to send me. When you fill in the inquiry form, I receive what you type: usually your names, email address, wedding date, venue and anything you tell me about your plans. If you email me directly, I receive your message and email address.

This website doesn’t use cookies, advertising trackers or Google Analytics. It does keep a simple, private count of visits, described below.

Counting visits

To see which pages people find useful, each page view is counted on my own hosting account at Cloudflare. A count records the page, the website you came from (for example Google or Instagram), your country and state, and whether you’re on a phone or computer. It does not use cookies and does not store your IP address. To tell visitors apart within a single day, it keeps a random code that changes every day, so no one can be followed from one day to the next. Counts are kept for about 13 months and are never shared or sold.

How I use it

To reply to you, to check my availability for your date, and, if we work together, to plan your photography, prepare your contract and invoices, and deliver your photographs.

I never sell your information, and I don’t add you to a mailing list unless you ask to be on one.

Services that help run this site

• HoneyBook runs the inquiry form and my client records, so what you send through the form is stored with HoneyBook. The Inquire page also loads a small HoneyBook pixel that tells them the form was viewed. HoneyBook may set its own cookies; see HoneyBook’s privacy policy.
• Cloudflare hosts this website. Like any web host, its servers briefly record basic technical details of each visit, such as your IP address and browser, to deliver pages and protect the site. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
• Google Fonts supplies the typefaces, so your browser fetches them from Google, which receives your IP address. See Google’s privacy policy.
• Instagram is only linked, not embedded. Nothing is shared with Instagram unless you click through.

How long I keep it

Inquiries that don’t become bookings are kept only as long as they’re useful for replying to you. Client records, contracts and invoices are kept for as long as I need them to run my business and meet tax and legal requirements.

Your choices

You can ask me to send you a copy of the information I hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, unless I have to keep it for legal reasons. Just email steve@stevedepino.com.

Photographs of you

The photographs on this site come from weddings and events I have photographed. If you appear in one and would like it taken down, email steve@stevedepino.com and I will review your request promptly.

Children

This site is meant for adults planning weddings and events. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes, I’ll update this page and the date at the top.
